Saltwater fish often bleed more when caught due to their greater muscle and supporting vascular physiology around their jaws. This is particularly true for oily pelagics like bluefish, tunas, kings, and 'hoos. Of course, some of the fish in the photos are clearly the handiwork of the Man in the Brown Suit.

Became aware of these types of things a week or 2 ago on the florida sportsman site. On that site, these types of things got mixed reviews.

I can see that it might be benefical if you lived on water where you could really get alot of use out of it and or practiced enough where you could become good at it.

Just don't think that standing up thing is for me- plus once you drop $3000 on the boat and accoutrements it starts to get prohibative. Plus the wind and tides are going to have a say if one will be able to stand anyway.

Again, if I lived on a canal or close by to the bays in Florida I would own a fishing kayak. I like being able to get around to spots-then getting out and wading.

I bought a Hobie Maui yak second hand, really cheap. Put a decent seat, a fly rod holder, a spinning rod holder and an anchor into it. Only used it locally twice. I take it to the beach and to my in-laws who live on a lake in Va. We have a sound side house this summer so I hope to get a lot more use than usual out of it. This is like mine but mine is orange. Some guys have theirs so decked out they look like they should fly.
